Two people, two dogs escape fiery crash

NORTH COUNTY  A Toyota 4Runner carrying two people and two dogs rolled off the right shoulder and down an embankment on Interstate 15 on Wednesday, catching fire, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The car was traveling southbound around 1:10 p.m. near Gopher Canyon Road when somehow it veered off the road.

A husband and wife, both about 50, suffered minor injuries, while the dogs ran out of the car and were loose for nearly two hours before being corralled.

The cause of the accident was still being investigated, but no alcohol was involved.
